JOHNSONBURG â€“ Johnsonburg native Laura Lechien has chosen to dedicate her time in order to better the community.
Lechien teaches an Aero/tone fitness class at the Johnsonburg Community Center where all proceeds are donated to the community center.
â€śI donâ€™t get anything out of it. Members have to pay a membership fee to the building,â€ť Lechien said. â€śI am blessed with a good job, so I decided I would do this to give back to the community.â€ť
